Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
This is mainly an usability problem. Users expect to be able to copy or move files between folders by drag and drop between open instances of nautilus, using the launcher. However this is not simple, because, dragging a file to the launcher will not highlight the nautilus icon, and if going over the nautilus icon it will launch the preview of the folders, which are not interactive.
I attach a video showing the problem.
